Episode 23 - Alaska

crime connection

Robert Stroud, aka the Birdman of Alcatraz, was originally sentenced to prison for killing a man in Alaska in January 1909. Stroud was extremely violent and spent 42 of his total 54 years in prison, in solitary confinement. Because Stroud was extremely violent, he was moved to Leavenworth prison in Kansas in 1912. It was there that Stroud found a nest of injured birds and the warden let him keep them. Over time, Stroud ended up housing over 300 birds and he became very popular in and outside of the prison. His notes about the birds were smuggled out of the prison and in 1933 were published into a book titled, Diseases of Canaries. Stroud was eventually moved to Alcatraz, leaving his birds behind at Leavenworth.

My guest and I discuss hate crimes against the LGBTQ community. In the month after Trump was elected there were over 1100 hate crimes against gay and transgendered individuals. An overwhelming majority of those victims are African American transgender females. Many of those victims had experienced hate crimes but did not report the incidents to police, fearing further retribution or apathy from law enforcement. In addition, many of these women are misgendered by police as well as family, leading to inaccurate reporting of statistics to the FBI.

On February 16, 2013, Edmond St. Clair (a promising surgeon) and his brother and friend were driving to get Chinese food when they came upon three men walking across the road. The men stopped and refused to leave the roadway so they could pass. Edmond got out of the car and approached the men and for an unknown reason, stabbed Edmond in the heart. He died a short while later. The incident took place on the UMES campus and appears to be just one of several similar incidents in the area. Two of the three black men are described as lighter skinned black males and all three were considered tall. The knife used to stab Edmond is pictured here. If anyone recognizes the knife or Edmond relating to what happened that evening, please contact the Maryland State Police at 401-651-3101 or Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776. Remember, you can remain anonymous.
